In each model, the manufacturer and the online platform form the Stackelberg game. This research further discusses comprehensive environmental benefits and consumer surplus under five scenarios.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Findings<\/jats:title><jats:p>First, the fairness concerns of the online platform inhibit the recovery rate and supply chain members' profit while increasing the platform's utility. Second, fairness concerns increase the profit gap between the manufacturer and online platform, and the higher the degree of fairness concerns, the greater the profit gap; however, the four policies reduce the profit gap. Finally, when there are fairness concerns, environmental taxes damage the interests of supply chain members and consumers, but are most beneficial to the environment; recycling investment subsidies are on the contrary; the fund subsidy system depends on the relative size of the treatment fund and the subsidy fund.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Originality\/value<\/jats:title><jats:p>This paper provides useful insights on how to regulate government policy to improve supply chain management with fairness concerns.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1108\/k-08-2021-0755","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,2]],"date-time":"2022-04-02T06:09:25Z","timestamp":1648879765000},"page":"3391-3424","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Government policies for e-commerce supply chain with fairness concerns towards sustainable remanufacturing"],"prefix":"10.1108","volume":"52","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6284-2471","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yanting","family":"Huang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9821-3407","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sijia","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0140-4256","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yuqing","family":"Liang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"140","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"key2023092503023587700_ref001","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"101863","DOI":"10.1016\/j.tre.2020.101863","article-title":"Collaboration, bargaining, and fairness concern for a green apparel supply chain: an emerging economy perspective","volume":"135","year":"2020","journal-title":"Transportation Research Part E"},{"issue":"1","key":"key2023092503023587700_ref002","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"161","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ejor.2021.01.018","article-title":"A comparison of pure manufacturing and hybrid manufacturing-remanufacturing systems under carbon tax policy","volume":"294","year":"2021","journal-title":"European Journal of Operational Research"},{"issue":"10","key":"key2023092503023587700_ref003","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1731","DOI":"10.1287\/mnsc.1080.0893","article-title":"Remanufacturing as a marketing strategy","volume":"54","year":"2008","journal-title":"Management Science"},{"key":"key2023092503023587700_ref004","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"901","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ejor.2019.11.052","article-title":"Tax or subsidy?
